06.01.2022 It is with no real pleasure that I write to inform you that the VPGF Executive have made the decision to POSTPONE the entire 2020 Victoria Police & Emergency Services Games. With a state of disaster declared this morning by the Premier and the advice and discussions that Rick and his counterparts have been involved with, it without doubt necessary to postpone the Games. The VPGF’s key priority is the health and safety of our police and emergency services community whilst we c...ontinuously monitor the rapidly evolving situation. So, in light of the advice thus far, we now find it necessary to postpone our Games as a precautionary measure to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19. This decision does not come easy, but on the other hand, it should come as no surprise that we (the Executive) need to demonstrate leadership to our emergency services’ colleagues through this decision. It should also come as no surprise that it is paramount that all police and emergency services employees maintain a capacity to deliver community services and that means we need to mitigate any risk and stay healthy to do so. A formal decision on whether the Games can be rescheduled will be made in due course however it remains unlikely this will happen.

06.01.2022 Hi everyone, please find Heat Details and Heat Timings information attached for your information. Please note that this is subject to change but we will do our best to keep things on time - nothing worse than running late! I will work through a movement standards video on Monday and post it up here for everyone's information. What I can tell you all already is the following:... - the Devil's Press in WOD 4 has had to be changed from 2 dumbbell's to a single one due to equipment issues/shortages. There will be no requirement to alternate arms for this movement. - the Snatch in WOD 1 is a POWER Snatch NOT a Squat Snatch - you can squat snatch if you like but that is going to take you heaps longer. Apologies for the confusion there. - I am currently working through tie-breakers for WOD's 1,2 and 4 so that we have clarity over any scores and can clearly determine a winner for each category. - Remember that WOD 3 is a 'FLOATER' - you can complete this at any stage of the morning. It will only take you 3 minutes - it will be quick and easy.... Breakwater Athletics has 3 ski-ergs so 3 people can go at once with this one. - LiveSore Aus will be in attendance on the day so you can purchase merchandise and other CrossFit related gear if you would like! Andrew has also generously provided prizes for the winners of each category so we thank him for his continued support of our event! Cheers mate! - True Protein has also provided some protein bags for the winners of each category. Their products are delicious and well worth fighting for first place for! - WOD 1 will kick off at 08:30 sharp. If you get there earlier, no issues, we would love for you to give us a hand to set the comp floor up after the last morning class for the Breakwater crew. - As has been the standard in previous years, we are usually short on volunteers for judging, scoring, etc. If you are willing and able between your own events and warm ups, etc, if you could please look to assist other competitors with judging them, it would be most appreciated and ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible. As previous competitors probably already know, it is a pretty friendly event and kept nice and low key. - Registrations for the event are now closed. If you have missed out and want to compete, unfortunately, I cannot really fit anyone else in at this late stage. - MOST IMPORTANTLY: Have fun! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. I am on 0400 355 346 or at [email protected]. Thanks for your support and patience in getting this together. Cheers Jarrod

05.01.2022 Manta Fitness Equipment was born to bring you the most effective high quality training equipment. Our goal is to bring training back to the basics and help you to become a more functional human being. Our first love has been the StrongFit Sandbag. This tool, although very simple at heart, is extremely effective and versatile. The StrongFit Sandbag is the best and strongest on the market, hence why we are bringing it to Australia and New Zealand, as the exclusive suppliers.... Sandbags are more functional. It's much more likely that you are going to lift something that mimics an awkward, misshapen bag of sand in real life than a perfectly loaded, collared barbell. When it comes to truly functional and human movement, the sandbag is king. Movement should predicate exercise. mantafitness.com.au - proud suppliers of sandbags for the 2019 Victoria Police and Emergency Services Games. Ben Breen from Manta will be at Iron Bear tomorrow to support the event as well as supplying vouchers for all podium finishers! See you in the morning crew! Remember check in will start from 7am and we will have a quick briefing at 7:45 - kick off is at 8am!

04.01.2022 Hi everyone, a few things to update you all on in the lead up to the event on Tuesday 20 March: - Registration for the event closes on THURSDAY. If you haven't signed up or have mates that want to but haven't, get onto them ASAP! We currently have 70+ athletes competing! - The event will commence at 0830. Heat Lists will be compiled once we have final numbers for all categories and released onto this page as soon as completed and checked;... - As there is no way to identify 'Chief' or 'Recruit' athletes for the event via the registration process, we will send out an email asking which category you wish to compete in. Please do your best to get back to us promptly as we will be creating the heat lists using this information! - Due to the fact that CrossFit Iron Bear has created the 'Recruit' category, it has not been officially endorsed by the Games Committee therefore there will be no medals for the winners of this category. We are hoping that by starting this category it will receive full endorsement for next year and medals will be allocated. We hope you all understand that we have to start somewhere. We apologise, however we think it is a great way for people of all levels to get together and compete so we are working with Again Faster Australia to put some prize packs together. Stay tuned in relation to this; - 40+ athletes will complete the 'Recruit' category workouts; - Judges will be required on the day - we have a limited number of people available (tough being a Tuesday) however if you have mates or people available that are interested in helping out, please put them in contact with us; - There is 24 hour on street parking around the gym. As it is business as usual for all factories around us, please be prepared for a little walk to the box. You really cannot miss us, but if you have any issues, please let us know. - GORILLA and Again Faster Australia are proud supporters of this event! We will have further information in relation to these guys in due course! Sorry for the information dump - please let us know if you have any questions! See you all on the 20th! Jarrod & Mark

03.01.2022 Good morning everyone! We are looking for some help with a couple of things: - We are in need of a microphone for the MC of the event. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction or have one that we can use for the day? I can be really loud but would prefer to use a microphone to get everyone pumped up!... - A photographer that is willing to give up some time to come and take some quality photos of all you good people smashing out our WODs. Anything has to be better than me and Mark running around with our phones! If you can please point me in the right direction for either of these things, I would be forever grateful. Thanks! Remember: Registration closes TODAY! Get your mates on board! Jarrod
